I'm changing your request. Why not get a 6.5 Creedmoor instead. Long distance, flat shooter and easy on your eyes ???

Why do you guys keep recommending the brakes? They kick, but not that darned hard! :dunno:

Maybe they own stock in a hearing protection company? :chuckle:

For me it's like shooting a 243 with a loud bang.

 Do yourself a favor and take my advice.
 Buy a Tikka T3 stainless 300 wsm and go fill the arc.

I sure love all these gun debates these days.  Chuckling through most of them, I find bod's last post spot on for "your" desires. :twocents:

300 rum with 215 berger hybrid for me. Its been devastating on elk and bears for me.

I have friends that swear by the 215's for flat outright killing stuff.👍
they seem to do a great job. Animals dont seem to go far after being hit with them.


The 300 win does seem to really shine with the 215 or 230 and a longer barrel.

That's great if you can find either of those powders. I'm down to 2# of H1000 and I'm starting to panic! :chuckle:

I need to start buying that stuff by the 8# keg. I only get 60 loads per pound in the BME! Makes the 300 Win Mag seem pretty efficient by comparison! ;)

I'm trying to remember my pet load for my 300 RUM. Like 90 grains of H870 or something crazy like that. I just remember my powder charger visibly dropping with each charge! Cha-Ching. Cha-Ching. Cha-Ching!

Every time someone would ask me if they could shoot it I'd tell them the fee was a buck a round, and after about 3 they wouldn't want to shoot it any more! :chuckle:

And then a disclaimer about not being responsible for split eyebrows!
